<!--paging_filter--><p>Last week we brought you a gallery of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/gallery/gallery_20_beautiful_custom_mac_desktops">20 beautiful Mac OS desktops</a>, but the customization doesn't stop there. This week we bring you 20 beautifully customized iPad homescreens. iOS customization is a little more challenging than OS X customization, particularly on the iPad, but with a little time and perseverence, these themers achieve beautiful results. Hopefully their work will inspire you to give iPad theming a try, too.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For more iPad theming resources, check out the forums at <a href="http://macthtmes.net">MacThemes</a>, <a href="http://macristocracy.com/vanilla">Macristocracy</a>, and <a href="http://deviantart.com">DeviantArt</a>.

<!--paging_filter--><p><strong>Is there any way to have my iPhone leave a blank space on a home screen? I leave a blank spot at the end of some of my home screens, but then when I buy new apps, those apps are slotted into the blank spots, instead of added to the end of the list, where I want them. And moving them, even in iTunes, gets tedious.</strong></p><p><strong><img src="/files/u129772/2010/06/11ask-spacer_only.jpg" width="320" height="480" /><br />This all-black icon can hold a place on your home screen.</strong><br /><br />Our own Roberto Baldwin discovered a pretty slick workaround for that problem--you can find it right here on MacLife.com by surfing to <a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/using_web_clip_home_screen_separator" target="_blank">tinyurl.com/iphonespacer</a>. Basically, you’ll create an all-black “spacer” icon on the home screen by navigating to a page with a lot of black in it (<a href="http://www.blackle.com" target="_blank">blackle.com</a> is a perfect one to use), zooming in until all you can see is black, and then pressing the plus sign. In the pop-up menu, select Add to Home Screen, and then in the resulting screen, replace the site’s name with a single period. Click Add, and a black icon will be added to your Home Screen, with a pretty easily ignored period as its name. The spacer icons do have a little iPhone sheen on them, so they’re not totally invisible. But they do their job of taking up space at the ends (or in the middles) of your home screens, just like you wanted.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/howto_make_blank_space_your_iphones_home_screen#commentsAskblank spacehomescreenhow-toiphoneiPhone How-TosHow-TosWed, 30 Jun 2010 22:44:54 +0000Susie Ochs7371 at http://www.maclife.com
